You can change the variable's definition but you cannot delete the variable.

The %ProgamFilesDir% variable always uses the x86 path to the Program Files directory (e.g. C:\Progam Files (x86) on a x64 computer). This is independent of the command option Disable file redirection on x64 machines. If you want to start a program from the x64 Program Files, please use the %ProgramFilesDir64% variable. To activate variables for scripting, select the Tools -> Show All Variables menu command in the Infrastructure view. Activate the variables you need to display them on the drop down list in the eScript.
